We decided to pull out some of the most memorable watches from there! See below for some of the most interesting watches introduced:
Midnight Planetarium Poetic Complication - Ever wonder when Jupiter will next be aligned with Mars? Well Van Cleef & Arpels' watch will tell you that. This new timepiece features six rotating disks, each bearing a tiny sphere to represent one of the six planets visible to the naked eye. Each disk rotates at different speeds around the dial to symbolize the actual time it takes the planets to go around the sun. So how do you tell the time? Just follow the shooting-star symbol. Price: about $245,000, a diamond-set version will be about $330,000. » »
